ATHLETICS FOR ALL. Believe it or not, this was once the motto of the Michigan athletic department. Back in the days of Fielding Yost it was thought that all students should take part in sports. Varsity sports were played by student athletes and he Inramural build- ing was constructed to provide recreational facilities for the rest. Today the saying could be rewritten to read: football tickets for all. Because a seat in the stands is as close as most stu- dents get to varsity sports at Michigan. Except for minor sports like track or swimming the current athlete is more committed to his workouts than his studies. This is not to say, however, that it is wrong to main- tain a strong varsity program. Twenty-four thousand stu- dents go to football games, so they must be happy the team is so skilled. And all it would take to please those students interested in sports for recreation is a new I.M. building. But there are also those students who would like to com- pete themselves. They are too good for the I.M. leagues but not good enough for the varsity. At the moment there is no- where for them to go. They want to be involved in hitercolle- giate competition but they can't. Happily, the situation may someday change. Athletic director Don Canham is not often considered a radical, but he does have some revolutionary ideas about restructuring inter- collegiate athletics to allow greater student participation.- Essentially Canham wants to "turn the clock back to the 1920's when there was no financial aid but the teams were still pretty good." In a time when many colleges are cutting back on their inner school programs, Canham sees the future as having "more varsity teams, not less." He would like to be able ,to accommodate any student that wants to compete on some team. Of course, most of us could never play varsity football. So Canham would like to see Michigan have both a junior varsity and a 150 lb. football team. In sports like track, swim- ming and gymnastics there could be an A and a B team. These programs would not be as elaborate as today's football or bas- ketball ones are, but they would give athletes a chance to com- pete under regulated conditions. Another area of growth will come much sooner. Canham would like to place club sports on a varsity level in the near future. "Club sports are not satisfactory," he commented. "There are too many problems with supervision, insurance and medical treatment. You have teams off every-which-way all over the country. People think that they are representing the University and since we are not we have no control over them." Canham is worried about what kind of incident a club team could create. At least one of the clubs has a reputation for heavy celebrating after a game. If something happened the University would be blamed even though it had no authority in the matter. He is also concerned wiht the transportation clubs have to resort to. Varsity athletes don't always ravel first class, but at least they travel safely and in reasonable comfort. Injuries are just as likely in a club gme, but the clubs do not have the medical resources avail- able to the varsities. It is unlikely that the rugby team will ever fill the stadium for a game, but they will still be varsity some day because as Canham says, "at least use can take care of them then." Incresed eligibility will also contribute to the growth of varsity sports. And not by letting an athlete spread his eligi- bility out as in redshirting. Canham foresees the day when graduate students will be allowed to play intercollegiate sports. "I think it'll come in the very near future," he said. "I'm push- ing for it and doing all I can. I don't see why we say that you can compete only three or four years. Why not five or six? The demand is there so let's have it." There are those who say that Canham wants grad eli- gibility so Bo Schembechler can have Billy Taylor for an- other year. But those athletes who can play professionally will still do so. The extra years would be primarily for the marginal player who like to play but will never be a super- star. And then there is women's athletics. Canham thinks that soon there will be as many women's teams as mens. However, as always, there is a catch to the whole plan. Increased participation means more money. And money is al- ways the thing that stalls projects. According to Canham "all of intercollegiate athletics has to be restructured before any of this can happen."f But the first step has already been taken,at least in the Big Ten. The conference has placed a limit on the num- ber of scholarships that can, be given. The next will be to cut the remaining tender down to tuition only. After that they will be eliminated entirely in all soprts except those which can pay for hemselves. The money thus freed could be used to pay for more team sports so that more students could participate. Because the programs would not be that fancy, the extra expense really wouldn't be that great. Squads would play their games close to Ann Arbor and student coaches would be utilized as much as possible. "No school could afford to do this now," Canham stated. But he hopes that it will happen eventually. It will take over a decade, but he hopes to get the process started. "There are more good athletes than ever before," he noted, "and they should get a chance to play." If Canham's dream comes true, college sports could once again return to the students. Not only would they get to watch, they would actually get the opportunity to compete for their schools. That's the way it used to be and it's the way it should still be. The scholar-athlete may yet get reincarnated.

Mark Minor, a regular forward and the third Buckeye taken to the Minnesota University Hospital, resumed practice Wednesday. Meanwhile, Big Ten Commis- sioner Wayne Duke wound up his two-day investigation and flew' back to Chicago to make an an- nouncement today. Duke and Ohio State Athletic Director Ed Weaver devoted yes- terday afternoon to viewing a .video tape at Columbus station WLW-C, the only station to tele- vise the contest live. Ohio Gov. John J. Gilligan urged Duke yesterday to take "strong and forthright" action against Minnesota basketball, players,.in- volved in the game-ending brawl with Ohio State players. "I've never seen anything as disgraceful, brutal, as what took place on the floor for three periods at Minnesota that night," Gilligan said.' The governor, who conferred with Ohio State basketball coach Taylor before a mid-morning news conference on a bill signing, said he agreed with the coach that the scuffle was "a public mugging." Gilligan said strong punitive ac- tion should come from the Big Ten commissioner who came to Columbus to discuss the matter with Ohio State officials. Gilligan said if the Big Ten commissioner does not discipline the Minnesota players, Ohio State should "for all practical purposes forget about intercollegiate ath- letics." At St. Paul, Gov. Wendell An- derson of Minnesota was quoted as saying he was similarly shock- ed and disturbed by the incident. * * * University of Minnesota coach Bill Musselman said last night he has suspended Ron Behagen and Corky Taylor from the squad. By ROB HALVAKS This being an Olympic year, many of the nation's top track mnd field athletes are pointing for invitations to national team trials and hopefully a. spot on a team bound for Munich, Germany, next October. Tomorrow's Michigan Relays will be the first step toward those goals for some of the state's top collegiate and high school track and field athletes. While kicking off their own in- door track season in the relays, the Wolverines will be host to 200 ath- letes from a dozen schools and clubs, including Eastern, Western and Central Michigan, Michigan State, Bowling Green, and the Ann Arbor Track Club. Among the track events, which will highlight the relays, is the 60- yard dash, pitting Michigan State's 5.9 sprinter, Herb Washington and Marshall Dill, one of last year's outstanding high school sprinters. against Michigan's Gene Brown (6.0). The 70-yard high hurdles will also prove interesting, bringing to- gether Eastern's Bill Tipton (7.2 in the 60-highs), State's John Morrison, who scored in last year's Tarkenton, Minnesota Big Ten meet ,and Michigan's Big Ten champ in the 120-highs, God- frey Murray. Michigan's two mile relay team of Kim Hildebrandt, Al Cornwell. Bill Bolster, and Eric Chapman., will face stiff competition from EMU's relay team, which has al- ready run a 7:36:0 this season in the CYO meet. Offering another top track at- traction will be the distance med- ley relay with WMU's Gary Har- ris (4:05), EMU's Gordon Minty (4:05.7), MSU's Ken Popejoy (4:03.4) and Michigan's Keith Brown (4:14), running the anchor miles. Currently holders of the school record of 3:08.5,; Michigan's mile- relay team is composed of Reggie Bradford, Reggie Johnson Kim Rowe, and Greg Syphax.
